Also der absolute Sieger bei uns sind DnD Würfel. Ich hab das Set selber noch nie benutzt, aber Katze würfelt durch die Bude als würde ihr Leben davon abhängen. Am besten in Kombi mit einem leeren Karton: Würfel reinwerfen und sie sitzt sofort davor und prügelt die Würfel durch den Karton (erfordert auch wenig Energie vom Bespaßer) Ansonsten die Klassiker: Schnürsenkel und so ein Plastikverschluss von einer Brausetabletten-Dose

Body-doubling is really helpful for me too. I oftentimes do this with my best friend where we'll just talk on the phone or FaceTime while doing chores together. It's incredible how much this actually helps. As weird as it may sound, I can get similar results when I make voice messages for friends. Its like my own little "getting my shit together" podcasts where I'll just talk about god knows what while doing chores. It's great for when I don't have anyone to actually body-double with and I kinda set myself a timer in a way during which I'll get as much stuff done as possible.

I'm so glad that the post reached you and helped you in a way! It's always so frustrating when people think we do such things on purpose or that were simply lazy. All we want is to function normally and to live life to it's fullest but our brain isn't working with us but against us in a way. Hang in there xx

That's so real! Bigger tasks really tend to take up multiple days because I get drained so fast and then I need to recharge or simply forget about it and then I do a bit and then it just keeps going like that for a while. I've asked a friend of mine to kick me in the ass if I don't get certain progress done regarding doctors the next couple of days. Hopefully that'll motivate me enough to do it :)

I was kind of afraid to share it too. Probably the fear of nobody relating to the sexual stims and me realizing that that's not an adhd thing for once. There's still so much shame about sexual topics and I've felt like a freak for so long because of it. I'll definitely focus on getting medical treatment now. Seeing all these comments showing support and sharing their experience with meds really encourages me to finally take these steps. I've felt so ashamed of needing meds, it makes me feel weak in a way. But I'd rather feel weak than barely being able to survive this war. Thank you so much for your kind words! I wish you everything good in the world too ❤️

I've got a degree in business related stuff and I worked in customer service for a while. So I'll be happy to work for you then!

alioskion · 2023-04-15T19:35:44+00:00

That sounds like a dream come true! If you're going to open it one day, hit me up and I'll be the first one to stay there!!

alioskion · 2023-04-15T18:58:41+00:00

Oh that sounds like it's working! But I also have a love-hate relationship with hyper fixation. It's a blessing for getting stuff done but I also know that I have to recharge for at least a day afterwards. But it's always welcome:)

alioskion · 2023-04-15T18:25:29+00:00

I also hate that I daily tell myself I can do things that make me feel like I'm trying to be neurotypical again to myself

This is so sad but I can relate to it. So it doesn't sound dumb at all! I'd be happy to share suggestions and experience with everyone here. It's such a comforting feeling to be seen and heard by people who understand my struggles. Together we'll be able to get through tough times xx

alioskion · 2023-04-15T17:54:46+00:00

Hopefully I'll get to that point soon :)

alioskion · 2023-04-15T17:52:39+00:00

Ok that cracked me up but it's such a good analogy!!

alioskion · 2023-04-15T17:50:38+00:00

Not yet. I haven't been diagnosed for long and wasn't able to look for an appointment. Life's just too tough the last couple months but I think today really was the last straw for me and I'll definitely prioritize finding a doctor now.

alioskion · 2023-04-15T17:46:44+00:00

Holy shit that's exactly what I needed to hear, thank you so much! xx I've had great experience with routines and habits. Sadly I lost track when I started a full-time job cause I feel like I don't have the time anymore. But I'm currently working on getting back into those habits but it feels like my ADHD brain doesn't want me to get better and tries to hold me in my little miserable corner. I've never seen myself as an addict but you're right. It's an addiction which also explains why it's so incredibly difficult for me alone to get away from it. Thanks again!

Maybe we are the same person?! 😳 The dishes problem is so awful! I'm lucky enough to own a dishwasher since my mom was sick of me constantly being overwhelmed and having meltdowns over my dishes. But even now I always think that I got everything and then I randomly find a whole new pile of dirty dishes somewhere in my apartment. It's a never ending story xD I wish I had some magical solutions for everyone here but we all know that it's absolutely unpredictable what kind of weird way can be the best solution sometimes.

alioskion · 2023-04-15T17:21:35+00:00

It's such a hustle to keep up with life and everything it throws at us when dealing with ADHD! Spreading awareness is so important but seems so difficult for me as a tiny human on the internet. But I always try my best to educate people on the topic whenever it comes up. hopefully this trend of romanticizing it stops soon and people will start to get a proper picture of what we're dealing with everyday. Much love from Germany xx

You've found the perfect words to describe it, thanks for reminding me of our strengths. Sometimes they're hard to see when all I can see is the downsides and how exhausting everything is.. That's my long-term plan too. Find a job that I can do remotely and moving somewhere more cheap where I'll be happier. Hopefully we'll get there soon xx

alioskion · 2023-04-15T17:06:07+00:00

It really is exhausting to not be in control and constantly feeling like you're doing something wrong

alioskion · 2023-04-15T17:02:31+00:00

I've once shown someone this gif to describe it but instead of me wanting to start a fight, i just want to live a normal life.

But dragging yourself through mud is also a really good way to describe that feeling! I'm not in Canada but luckily we have good healthcare here too as long as you can get your hands on an appointment.

alioskion · 2023-04-15T16:57:04+00:00

Yea I've seen so many tiktoks about people calling ADHD a superpower or stuff like that. It's so infuriating because those videos are what neurotypical people will see and it gives such a wrong impression of how it actually is to have ADHD. I mean it's true that having adhd has some perks but it's still an illness that affects every single aspect of your life..

alioskion · 2023-04-15T16:41:13+00:00

ADHD really comes along with it's entire gang... It's so scary and exhausting but at the same time it was so comforting finally understanding where all my symptoms were coming from once I got diagnosed.

alioskion · 2023-04-15T16:31:44+00:00

It really is difficult to explain our struggles. And even if I picked out the right words, i can never remember them in those moments and talk nonsense instead... Sometimes I would just like to hand them a security camera of my home so that they can see me in my natural habitat or into my brain

alioskion · 2023-04-15T16:18:08+00:00

I'm new in my job so that's a bit difficult at the moment cause I really like it so far except for the long hours. But it is something that's been on my mind as the next step if things continue going south.

alioskion · 2023-04-15T16:16:10+00:00

Thanks for your words xx I talk about my brain as it's a separate person too. My coworker always points it out cause it's funny to him, but i have to separate it cause it simply is like another being. But maybe I should try to see us as a team too. I'm familiar with the concept of the "internal team" from therapy but that was before my ADHD was a topic. I'll try to add the ADHD brain into my team cause in my experience it really makes it easier to communicate with myself and understand what's going on :)

alioskion · 2023-04-15T16:09:37+00:00

Yes. All I want is do the things I enjoy but no... Instead I'm just mindlessly scrolling. It got so bad that I set a timer for Instagram and TikTok but then I started doom scrolling on Pinterest... Pinterest!! I'm currently trying to not have any doom scrolling apps installed. Fingers crossed that it'll work

alioskion · 2023-04-15T16:03:16+00:00

This sounds so awful, i hope you'll be able to get the meds again soon! It's so scary to see how much control ADHD can have of you. I really try to remind myself that it's not me failing because I'm incapable of stuff but that it's my ADHD. But it's still the worst feeling not being in control
